(this was a challenge from a friend to use one letter, he chose 'T', 300 times in roughly 500 words in a coherent piece that involves modern politics--This challenge was inspired by a piece of dialog in the movie 'V for Vendetta.')

I am called 'T.' I know That Trivial introductions can be Terribly Tedious and Tiresome, so I'll Try To be Transpicuous and not waste Time.

For Too long you've been Trifled with by The Tycoons in government who Titivate The Truth and work hard To invent Terror. They Too readily Teach about the Tyranny of contrived Terrorists and in doing so They Take from you what you already Know To be True.

I say unto you That our leaders are The real Tyrants; They are The ones who Tell Teratological Tales and have Total control over The Televisions and Tabloids, which They use To Twist The Truths They Tell.

I say They are no longer To be Trusted with The Truth; but instead, These Terrible Tabloids should be Taken away and Torn into pieces and The TV's should be Tossed in the Trash because the lies These Tabloids and TVs Tell will never survive The Test of Time or integrity.

I, 'T', will Take it upon myself and Try To Talk to the people and Tell Them That now is The Time for the real Truth To be Told; The Time To bring an end To The rule of These Tyrannical Tigers who Tear The Truth into pieces and use These pieces with perfect Timing To Tease and Taunt The people.

I will be like a Troublesome Tic and Take but a Token of their Tenacious Tyranny and return it To Them Tenfold. For it is we who will now keep Tally.

Be strong, for I will soon be Taken by These Tyrants and forced To Testify in a Trial for Treason. In reprisal for my Testimonials about Their Twisted Tongues, I will be Tabbed as a Terrible Type of person who speaks words That are Toxic and Troublesome. I say That I fear not To Testify my Thoughts, nor do I Tremble like a Traulist from the ill-Treatment I will be forced To Take for The Truths That roll off my Tongue.

I will be Taken To a place for interrogation where They will use Terrifying Tools To Tear out my Tongue and Test my Toughness in an attempt To Traumatize me.

Let Them Try I say. They will soon see That I Took Their Fear and Tore it from my heart, which I have made Treen, so That Their Tactics against me will seem naught but Trivial. No longer am I Troubled, nor do I Tremble in Terror like a Tyronic Teen or a Terrified Turncoat.

I Tell you now, That in Time it will be They who Tremble and It will one day be Told That I was a Teacher who Taught with Tact and Tenaciousness. The people in Time will ask, "Was it not 'T' whom They Tagged The Traitorous Tyrant? Was it not 'T' who Took back The Truth and returned it To The people?"

Rise up all and be free! Now is not The Time To be Tired, but to arise in a Tonitruous Tintinnabular in order To Take down These Tyrannical Tycoons who fancy Themselves our leaders. Ever be wary of These Treacherous Types. It is now Time They Tremble because Starting Today, The people will finally remember what it is to Truly Triumph!

The Time is now!
